Welcome aboard.
Yeah well your mother was a hamster.
..the last time I was in a Catholic church I was photographing my sister's friends' wedding. Apparently my sister (bridesmaid) was not allowed communion one time during the wedding prep ceremonies even though she went through some Confirmation course at her Lutheran church.
For the actual wedding however, she had been given exclusive access! To take communion. My lil heart was proud beyond words when they called for the wedding party to come take communion and my sister stayed right where she was at.
I think Catholics are the absolute most self righteous human beings in the Christian religion--and quite possibly the world, no less.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
